Golf putt hits a friends marker on green and deviates – What is the ruling?
What happens if you hit a putt on the green and it rolls over a friends marker on the green and deviates?? Do you play it as it lies? are there any penalty strokes?

The ROG says you should ask your competitor to move his marker. Other than that, I couldn't find anywhere else that addresses your question. You'd play it as it lies after the ball comes to rest. no penalty. I couldn't find where a ball marker is considered a loose impediment and may be moved or removed. A ball marker is not considered equipment.
So, in my opinion, you play it as it lies, no penalty. I can't imagine anyone who's putting is so good that they might use someone elses ball marker to their advantage to sink a putt.
You play it as it lies with no penalty. on the green , you have control of the opponents' or fellow competitor's ball or marker.you have the right to have it moved.
No ruling. you ask your playing partner to mark his ball outside of the line of your putt. If not, then what happens is what you asked.
You should have had them move their marker if it was in your line.
thats part of the game.. you had the option of asking for that marker to be moved and you didn't ask.. sorry it's your loss.
